Agent Rush posted:They did just do Vampire Shadow and Witch Rouge for Sonic Dash, hopefully they finish the Halloween trio. They gave Vamp Shadow and Witch Rouge last year, and they've gone on to other old characters, so I'm not hopeful. Larryb posted:Also out of curiosity, the most recent update to Sonic Dash has a note saying to “keep an eye out for the return of an old legend”. Any idea what that’s referring to? Not sure, but the rest of the update was a duplicate of an old one, so I'm not sure it's accurate. In practice the update added a link to Sega's social media accounts.

Agent Rush posted:In comic news, the next issue of Bad Guys dropped today. It's pretty great, with some cool action and character beats for the main baddies. It was also pretty neat to see Ponett's speculation get semi-confirmed at the end. I liked the throwback to the sonic heroes power cores, that was neat

I'm always impressed by how the comic can work something so minor from the games like the freakin Sonic Heroes powerups of all things and make them plot relevant

This is already a much stronger start than the last mini-series, hopefully the last two issues hold up. Every character involved in this story, except maybe Mimic, got a pretty good moment in this issue. Even Eggman has a good bit where he shows off knowing Sonic and Tails well enough to figure something weird is going on.

New issue for the main book dropped today! It's a pretty standard transition issue, where they wrap up one plot and deepen another but it's pretty good overall. Stanley's off to a good start, and the new characters in the IDW run have all been good to great additions so far so I'm looking forward to what Belle has in store.

Something about Belle and the way Tails is treating her just screams “love interest” to me. If I were a betting man I’d wager that at some point in the future she’ll become a flesh and blood animal and start dating Tails.

New issue of Bad Guys dropped today! Things are coming to a head, and it looks to be an explosive finale! It reminds me a bit of the Eggman's Dozen arc from Sonic Universe, seeing as how it's shaping up to be bad guys vs. bad guys.

The final issue of Bad Guys dropped today. Overall it was a pretty great series! The ending leads perfectly into the main book with Starline's re-appearance there, and the other bad guys are also in position for new stories with them.

The new issue of the main book dropped today. It finishes the Chao Races and Badnik Bases arc, all told it's pretty satisfying! They're leaning pretty hard on Belle's creator being Mr. Tinker, to the point I'd be surprised if it turned out to be someone else.

It's kinda weird that no one seemed to react to Starline having superpowers all of a sudden other than "dang he got away"

Finally caught up with Bad Guys. Pretty good and offers a solid base for newer stories with those villains, regardless of writer. Also, sort of related, but Baldry's voice as Robotnik has a special place in my heart. I love when people out there remix clips from AoStH into cool songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXCjZESUeFg

drrockso20 posted:Have we ever had a bad Robotnik/Eggman? Jim Cummings was pretty bad, even before the accusations. Even as a kid SatAM didn't really resonate that well because it had nothing to do with the games. The games were bright and colorful and semi-abstract, but the show was too bleak and dramatic. At least AoStH tried to ape the aesthetics and tone of the games, and Long John Baldry, like all good Robotnik/Eggman voice actors, sounded like he had a blast doing it. SatAM Robotnik just sounded angry and bitter and sibilant all the time.

I think Flynn's Eggman in the Archie run did a good job of keeping the vileness of SatAM Eggman while keeping the pure joyfulness inherent to him as a character.

Larryb posted:Even in the early days of the Archie comic they made Robotnik a bit goofier than he was in the show (sort of a fusion of the SatAm and AOSTH incarnations of the character). Yeah, pretty much this. Comic Robotnik/Eggman has always been a silly enemy who can suddenly become deadly serious.

Today, #37 comes out. I haven't read it yet, but I finally caught up with the Evan Stanley run (four issues so far) and it's... fluff? Nothing bad, but not very interesting either. This new character Belle is the worse, though. Super on the nose, figuratively and literally (clown nose for christ's sake). I hope #37 is better.

I know this is a weeks old post but: Evan's going for more of an episodic-ish downtime stretch of issues to serve as cool down after the Metal Virus stuff (meanwhile it's been announced that Ian's writing the story that'll run in #41-44)
